The first batch Benromach noses sweet like fresh raisins with a pleasant vanilla aroma. I detect somewhat of an orange. On the palate the whisky becomes thick and oily and unravels the sherry cask beautifully. Very pure in its salty, sherry flavor. It is up until the finish that the bodied peat starts to talk. When combined with dorblue cheese, two grades of salt melt together with the roamy cheese taste. Perfect companion! (Tasted at Breda & Gin Breda.)
